Brahmananda: …shortage that they will make processes for eating the seaweed.

Prabhupada: They are already doing that.

Ramesvara: It is considered a health food in many vegetarian restaurants, they import it as a health food.

Prabhupada: That Ahmedabad, that gentleman in his house, you were guest, you were in Ahmedabad?

Jayatirtha: Ahmedabad, that…

Prabhupada: Yes.

Jayatirtha: …homeopathic doctor?

Prabhupada: No, no, that gentleman, his name I forget now.

Tamala Krsna: Patel?

Prabhupada: Patel, yes. Not the doctor, the young man in whose house we became guest. He’s doing this business.

Tamala Krsna: Eating it.

Prabhupada: He’s mixing with something, making like that Chinese grass and what you call? His business.

Tamala Krsna: The Chinese eat this.

Prabhupada: Chinese, Japanese.

Ramesvara: In Japan, it is very popular.

Prabhupada: Yes.

Brahmananda: They have farms, they call them sea farms and they specially grow the seaweed for cultivation.

Prabhupada: Krsna is very kind. If you want this kind of food, he’ll give you facility.

Tamala Krsna: But the Vedic culture, I don’t think they like this. They’ll prefer this… Do you think Prabhupada?

Tamala Krsna: Yes, the Germans. [break]
